Every year, thousands of visitors from around the world descend the staircase at Hopewell Rocks to walk on the ocean floor. Bay of Fundy’s Hopewell Rocks offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of this striking and fascinating place. The book is full of intriguing tidbits on the history and natural history of the Hopewell Rocks Park at all times of the year. Snair’s descriptions of the tidal action and geology of the area are easy to understand and the self-guided tour portion will help readers make the most of their trip to the Rocks. His images of one of the most photographed places in New Brunswick are both stunning and original, so the book will become a treasured souvenir of this natural wonder of the world.

This spring, the author was exploring the beach when he discovered that the Elephant Rock formation pictured on the New Brunswick medicare card had partially collapsed. Historical photos of this formation can be seen on pg 8 (from the 1900s, showing a previous rock fall) pg 13 (1935) pg 61, pg 91 (both before the current collapse.)
